| Message | If this is what the people want, then why is a flight ALWAYS cheaper than a train ticket? Mary Keynes, Finance Speaker of the BGA |

| Message | Madame Keynes, I think that the only reason you've experienced that is that you've been travelling entirely on privately owned railways, because the government entirely subsidises the tickets on the publicly owned TOCs.
